Charlie O'Connor

He's in his late 20s, and he doesn't have a ton of tread on his tires.

It's not like he was being used as a high-workload guy in Calgary.

So maybe the Flyers now have a long-term goalie solution.

He's going to be up for a new contract, not this summer, but next summer.

I'd be shocked if the Flyers don't re-sign him and

Then they just got to hope that one of their goalie prospects pans out, and then boom, maybe you've got a workable tandem that can be a goalie group for a legitimate contender moving forward.

I mean, excitement, legitimate high-end talent, a nose for the net.

This guy has been really impressive.

I actually was impressed last night because –

I thought for the first, let's say, 25 minutes of last night's game, I thought it was the worst he's looked since his very first period in the NHL against the Washington Capitals.

I thought he was losing battles along the boards.

He was struggling with the Carolina four-check, which is obviously one of the best four-checks, if not the best four-check in the league.

He looked a little overmatched, but he still finds a way to make a big play.

He has the pass that sets up the game-tying goal for Trevor Zegers.

And I love, you know, you're not going to have it every night, especially when you're 19.

He's only 19.

You're not going to have it every night.

But what separates, you know, the great players and the good players is even when you don't have it, you find a way to pop in, you know, to assist and help your team win.

And what you saw last night was Porter Martone finding a way, even when he didn't have his A game, to make an impact in what was the Flyers' biggest game of the season.

You know, he's point per game still.
